I don't get what LG's doing. Here in Europe, we won't have the quad DAC, we won't have wireless charging, we won't have more than 32gb of internal storage. But we'll sure have the 749€ price tag ! All of this is a complete deal breaker, and that should definitely be emphasized in every review of the device. This is unacceptable.
the extra taxes cover the $ to € conversion though, like normally something in the US is 400$, here its 400€ but the purchase has taxes included as well, sometimes the US doesnt and it happens to be the same price
I think nowadays the smartphone dilemmas people will face will involve less of "is Phone X better than Phone Y?" and will have more to do with the nuances within each individual phone. Like, if you are a typical Sunday stroller walking into a shop, any smartphone will be a win, given our strides in ensuring a certain level of reliability and performance is provided by any smartphone, but now what will differentiate between these smartphones will be the nature of the philosophies each smartphone manufacturer adopts. Having said that, I like how you have evolved from the "is this phone good or bad" review technique to the "if you are part of Audience X, will this phone appeal to you?" which is a positive trend I also notice among other notable reveiwers, so kudos to you!! :)
We maybe closer to that point ...... in some instances , but ........... you still have to do your homework , the word flagship gets bandied about very ,very , very easily these days , but in actual fact a lot of these " Flagships " are mid range pretenders , and once you scrape off the pretty veneer on the outside of some of these devices , when you analyze them in detail , they are no where near what they are cooked up to be . .
Lloyd Lausa p10 plus is only 50 euro more than p10 standard with more ram, more battery, quad display and better cameras...p10 plus will be a clear winner over G6.
Using mate 9 for 3 months now.... it's a beast that just doesn't slow down.. was forced to choose it replacing my note 7 and I'm just not believing it's performance. Huawei performance is really on another level.
Fair Human already done....and using nova launcher so it's just insane. However once a note user always note user.... will replace it with the note 8 but I know for a fact nothing except the OnePlus is coming close to Huaweis kirin chipset performance in the Android world anytime soon.
How else is he supposed to compare it? It's not like users will manually switch their resolution to 1080P while watching videos, comparing it to the P10 Plus results are probably gonna be similar since it has a bigger battery, Huaweis have superb battery life and efficient SOCs.
JZ VR What I mean is wouldn't you expect the P10 to have better battery life with a full HD and smaller screen? It would make the P10 look really bad if it had worse battery life. And yet how can the G6 compete with the P10 with a 5.7" QHD screen. That's what I was trying to say.
Scott Morey If you have doubts about what mobile phone buy, the truth it is that the P10 consume less battery than G6, even if the screen is smaller or have less resolution. But if you want to compare well, it is true that the screen size and the resolution it is important to know the really battery consume.
I love Huawei and I do want to give it the win(as i've used the P1 which is still going strong) but that G6 sexiness is just luring me to it.....aaaaaah
What variant of the G6 was tested in this comparison? I was under the impression that the Quad DAC would only be in the South Korean model, unless your guys' unit had no DAC yet still produced good headphone output.
Hummm🤔 Whats more important Battery life or IP 68 Waterproof. Lets think...I ask myself how many times have I been without battery life? Answer: Several times. How many times have I dropped my phone in a pool of water? Never. Winner..Battery Life👏👏👏
MEN'S BASKETBALL LEAGUE Most people don't carry secondary batteries on them, so sealing the battery in, in order to provide waterproofing is a good trade off.
Princy Unfortunately. Smart business move to eliminate a prime time feature no one took advantage of to cut cost. I still have a Note 4 so Im not heart broken. When my battery dies I pop a new one in.
Most important in comparison that needs asking: Which will be supported given the markets they may be used in? Does LG have a better setup with American markets, and is there enough support regarding Huawei outside of mainland China?
i would like to know more about the cameras i wish you showed the difference in not just still photos but photos with movement like taking a picture through a car window to test things like shutter speed.
I'm an iPhone user but if I had to choose between the two I would choose the P10. I really liked the depth of field in the photos using the dual cameras (they seemed far superior than those I take with my 7 plus which are processed by software) and battery life seems to be better. Those are features that seem more practical at least for me in my everyday life rather than waterproofing and wireless charging.
Juan, a curious question. Have you checked to see if your P10 review unit has an oleophobic coating on its display? Folks at Android Central doesn't seem to have it on theirs. Wanted to know if yours does.
I'd take the Huawei in a heartbeat. I'm not a heavy... err, I mean 'power' user and neither do games, fancy screens and cameras interest me. I just want the performance. I have no patience for stuttery, laggy performance.
I trust your channel and Agreed agreed agreed.. I am a samsung guy who recently lost his S7 edge and still paying for it. I had to go for another flagship and S8 was my obvious choice. But since it almost required my entire saving plan of the coming year, I was looking for a proper replacement. And after a lot of research and convincing myself, I finally bought the G6. Its just amazing.. nobody talks about this phone that much after S8 came.. but for the price I got it, I'm glad I bought this. What a phone.. Thanx to this CHANNEL that gave me confidence to even start researching about this.
What settings are you using to export 1080p60fps? I'm uploading to my channel and I can watch 1080p 60fps in the computer but on the phone only 480p or 720p60fps. Can you help me here JC. Thanks!
awesome review as always but video was out of focus in so many places. the center was good but the bottoms were very out of focus. again awesome video maybe I'm nitpicking
agustin zambrano heredia Here in America Huawei has a very low brand value. I would pay $100 extra for LG over Huawei any day even if they had the same specs. Don't really wanna trust any Chinese brands till they bump up their brand value.
G6 Wins if you want a phone that stops dead after a year. Production issues are what is haunting them after the marvelous G2.So my money is better spent on Huawei, Maybe P10 Plus.
Only talking about my previous experience with a previous model, I had the g2 - excellent, G3- a friend had the same experience as I had with the g4, so after owning 2 flagship models and having real and empyric information about a third one, I concluded. Also, having a p9 LITE with 2gb ram, that works better than a g4, for my usage, and having close experience with two Xiaomi redmi note 4, one o which I own and use daily, and a Xiaomi redmi 4 pro I have enough to state, that LG is failing to produce a quality price/performance product, as it once has(G2). Is it enough to make that claim or the g6? Individually no, but I found that spending that much money on a phone to have a feature that is obsolete in a year, is pointless. I've found more joy not to waste money on a phone that is going to be used in the same manner as a 300$ phone. The fact is that every phone you buy, you lose 30-40% within 6 months. And if it does not sell good globally, you loose more.
@juan - great comparison, LG stepped up their game; I think once the software is finalized it is going to be one of the best phones of 2017. Also I would prefer an LG just for the audio, camera and not to mention the display. I am not sure if Samsung will implement the palm rejection for its curved display in a way thats not intrusive when operating. What are your thoughts on it? One suggestion: Could you guys clean up your playlists on the channel; its pretty cluttered and hard to find stuff. :)
Naturally the LGG6 wins. It's a more elegant refined phone. A fairer comparator would be the Galaxy S8/8+ to see how they perform. Samsung has the slight edge on the Snapdragon 835 processor. Camera and Audio would be great to review!
JuanBagnell Naturally, I await anxiously to see the S8 revealed in its full glory. I am sure you guys will be on top notch to witness the great event with a finale grand comparator of LGG6 vs Samsung S8. 👌 Quite a few fake S8 have already been released... Lol 😂
The reason I'm answering like that is because I apsolutely hate people which don't give a reason why they don't like a phone and why they like some othet phone alot more. Let me give you an example: I don't like the iPhone, why? Well in my opinion the ammount of stuff you get on the iphone is not enough for the money. No headphone jack, no wireless charging, only 3gb of ram in the 7 plus... So couldn't he just type out why he likes the p10 alot more? Maby I want to buy one of these phones, so I'm reading comments to see peoples opinions on the pros and cons of these phones. Just saying you like the p10 more than the g6 does't help me, it doesn't help anyone tbh.
My beef with the G6's wideangle camera is that the lens distortion is noticeably non-uniform. The distortion gets abruptly more extreme at close to the frame edge yet can clearly be seen in most pictures posted so far.
It's better than the fish eye lens on the V20, but I know what you mean. We're really fighting physics at this point in delivering that field of view on a phone with a more consistently rectilinear lens would require a LOT more surface area. Balancing the compromises, I think LG has done an admirable job.
Well, I am thinking to replace my aging Honor-8 for the LG G6, Always a year behind in order to obtain best value, I've had my H8 for over a year, even tho it's an 016 phone, I love it and never really gave me any trouble. The P10 is somewhat similar to the H8 in features and performance, not to mention a great camera, Unfortunately P10s are still selling here for over $700- on the other hand last year's G6 is now avail for a price of a mid-ranger phone. I am not about to lose my NFC and USB-C for a low end phone, although the Huawei Mate SE is a tempting choice. I am rather attracted to the versatility and 18.9 screen of the LG. Would you stick to your H8 or upgrade to the G6?
If you don't have the p10 plus, this VS is useless, p10 is like s7, nobody likes it everybody buy the s7 edge so p10 plus is the real unit that you need to make this VS.
Juan, please answer this.. When you compare speakers(mono like this two), do you go into "settings/acessibilty/merge channels in mono" before playing it out?
real world application is just as important. theres legit no point in having a phone you cant pull out in the rain or cant see in glaring sunlight just a few examples otherwise i agree with you
Deucalion you can get the p10 for 350 pounds in uk I bought mine 2 months ago ..so your saying you can get the LG g6 for 250 pounds. ..don't think so ..get your facts right ..
I neeeeeddd help !! I have three phones and i have to choose what will i have . I've got huawei L21 , then HTC idk what and LG phone ......which is the best one i don't have enough time just tell meeeee
Maybe i'm a sole proud owner of a G4. That phone is an outstanding performer. I broke the glass but it's still working fine and I am far from willing to change it.
Personally I prefer P10's more classic look. The glossy finish of G6 attracts more dirt and finger prints. Plus P10 has green and blue! Inside, P10 is a beast that G6 can't compete. If you like playing games, P10 is the way to go.
I dunno, the P10 for me just looks dated, Huawei used to make phones with the best screen to body ratio, that's what brought me in, they have dropped the ball to Samsung oh and LG of all people, I am still looking in to Honor tho, the 8 Pro looks good.
Yeah, but I think the P10's excess use of labels and markings looks tacky and unprofessional. While it does look more similar to an iPhone, I would far rather deal with some finger prints on the beautiful, simple G6
i use nexus 6, going great for me, even my hands are not that big but still I can use it with one hand. Once you guys start using big screen you cannot go back.
P10 is a 2016 competition phone that copies the iphone design blatantly. The LG is 2017 design phone. You are also incorrect to say the 16nm kirin 960 won't face any competition until 2017. 2017 will have 10nm socs and the older current 14nm exynos 8890 scores the same. LG G6 easy win
rick starburst so you want to tell me that iPhone didn't copy Huawei with dual camera ?? and you want to tell me that iPhone didn't suck doing that by making the camera sticking out stupidly?? here we go Huawei shows you how its done correctly and what about the back finger print on the LG should I remind you started it before LG followed ??....and I'm sorry according to the leaked benchmark of the SD 835 the krin 960 scored higher and if not higher its equal to it so there's no compaction.
According to a wide range of benchmarks the 960 loses out in all graphics tests and are very similar in score in cpu tests. dual camera lol. Dual camera is still not a primetime feature and i would anyways have a wide angle lens like lgs. If you think the p10 isn't an iphone design clone with even the antenna design you are just a huawei fanboy. Also the iphone uses dual camera in a smarter way. Huawei did it as a selling gimmick and still is trivial with "deeper blacks"
rick starburst losing GPU score running games better and don't even say QHD vs FHD even the P10 plus runs smother ...and about dual camera not a primetime ?? lol then why your LG is rocking dual cam ?? what about your iPhone ?? and the finger print not primetime too ?? ....don't be a blind fanboy .
Yes I'm a lg fanboy because I don't have an LG phone. Just admit you are a huawei fanboy defending them with your life. Dual camera have been tried long before by htc and even LG optimus 3d. Just admit the p10 is a 2016 competition phone. The kirin 960 scores basically the same in cpu and gets destroyed in graphics because hauwei cheapened out on the amount of graphics cores. Fingerprint ? Lol did your beloved huawei create fingerprint readers? Half of your arguments don't even make sense or are even true.
rick starburst not even gonna waste my time with stupid low mind like you ...watching a review and he clearly said the kirin will not face compaction until the next SD 835 yet Mr smart trying to be smart and saying its scoring same how stupid you really are ?? in Antutu 3D P10 scored around 43000 while SD 821 score around 23xxx to 25xxx and scoring same in CPU ?? I think you need glasses because SD821 will never touch those geekbench scores .....you want to compare it to exynos 8890 ?? do you even know that the exynos 8890 use Mali 880?? and Kirin 960 use Mali G71 which is faster ?? and even with CPU score its not the same you really need to get your eyes chick again as you're clearly avoiding the facts.
processor for sure like the p10, OLED for sure but since it is only a fragile edge display that can be a con, iris scanner, not really needed but cool, faster focusing, but no wide angle, looks can go either way, possibly battery life, better marketing for sure. Probably equal audio by akg/harman/jbl, who they just bought. price should be close, lg should be cheaper because of 32GB, no quad dac, and no 64 base model, but we will have to wait to see how greedy they are as an underdog, which should not be greedy at all.
at this point I don't see any reason to run out and buy a new smartphone for these iterative at best follow ups and tip toeing for a profit approach. the G5 still probably has the better still output. Any improvements to video recording speeds?
i always love your review because I almost got all the information I want specially on the audio side and I hope you can include also the bluetooth audio quality and the call quality on both loud speaker and earpiece .. most of the reviewer don't give much importance on this but for me, this is the most important ...
While the G6's speaker is good, it doesn't compare to many of the phones out there with dual speakers. While it was able to beat the P10, I don't think it's worth upgrading from the already very nice V20.
The Huawei P10 only dropped 5% in a 30 minutes HD video test? That's impressive! My 6P drops 2% every 5 minutes....
LOL! Awww...
JuanBagnell There's something wrong my phone. It's goes like 100% to 98% and idk why it drops by 2s.
Shellyman Vol.2 same.
Shawn Orjiakor You're having the same issue too? Wow!
Shellyman Vol.2 Yep. This year, I going to have to find a different phone.
I don't get what LG's doing. Here in Europe, we won't have the quad DAC, we won't have wireless charging, we won't have more than 32gb of internal storage. But we'll sure have the 749€ price tag ! All of this is a complete deal breaker, and that should definitely be emphasized in every review of the device. This is unacceptable.
SupaPictave Definitely a great point.
SupaPictave ur govt is charging more taxes
the extra taxes cover the $ to € conversion though, like normally something in the US is 400$, here its 400€ but the purchase has taxes included as well, sometimes the US doesnt and it happens to be the same price
yes the regional features is a downer for sure .
João Cardoso actually that of US and Europe is puzzling. Especially when $1 is not equal to €1
I think nowadays the smartphone dilemmas people will face will involve less of "is Phone X better than Phone Y?" and will have more to do with the nuances within each individual phone. Like, if you are a typical Sunday stroller walking into a shop, any smartphone will be a win, given our strides in ensuring a certain level of reliability and performance is provided by any smartphone, but now what will differentiate between these smartphones will be the nature of the philosophies each smartphone manufacturer adopts. Having said that, I like how you have evolved from the "is this phone good or bad" review technique to the "if you are part of Audience X, will this phone appeal to you?" which is a positive trend I also notice among other notable reveiwers, so kudos to you!! :)
Farhan Tajwar best thing I've ever read
Can't believe I've read that - anyhow - Can't agree more :) But, still waiting for Samsung Note
"is iPhone X better than iPhone Y" that one was funny
We maybe closer to that point ...... in some instances , but ........... you still have to do your homework , the word flagship gets bandied about very ,very , very easily these days , but in actual fact a lot of these " Flagships " are mid range pretenders , and once you scrape off the pretty veneer on the outside of some of these devices , when you analyze them in detail , they are no where near what they are cooked up to be . .
+mikldude Except those "details" are something which 90% of consumers in this world don't even give a damn about...
Why not compare it with Huawei P10 Plus??? It is more premium than P10 and better specs to compete with LG G6
Lloyd Lausa p10 plus is only 50 euro more than p10 standard with more ram, more battery, quad display and better cameras...p10 plus will be a clear winner over G6.
50 eruos! are you sure?
Tod 1 Yeah, the price difference is only 50 Euros.
Nawaz Rajput I might have to look into it then, as long as it's better value than the S8 and G6
Lloyd Lausa it would destroy the g6
My P6 is going on 4 years now. Think i'm gonna have to reward Huawei for this and take a huge leap to the P10.
P10, personally.
EMUI has really grown on me and I'm always happy to see Huawei continuously evolving to be better over time.
Using mate 9 for 3 months now.... it's a beast that just doesn't slow down.. was forced to choose it replacing my note 7 and I'm just not believing it's performance.
Huawei performance is really on another level.
Nezar Anwar you can speed it up even more by reducing the transitions. I did that and it makes a noticeable difference. reduce from 1 to 0.5
Nezar Anwar you can speed it up even more by reducing the transitions. I did that and it makes a noticeable difference. reduce from 1 to 0.5

However once a note user always note user.... will replace it with the note 8 but I know for a fact nothing except the OnePlus is coming close to Huaweis kirin chipset performance in the Android world anytime soon.
Nezar Anwar agree! Not sure what Huawei does but you can't slow their phones down or overheat them.
Nezar Anwar agree with you it's smoother than Galaxy
I don't really think this is a fair comparison for either phone. How can you compare battery life of a full HD 5.1" screen and a QHD 5.7" screen?
How else is he supposed to compare it? It's not like users will manually switch their resolution to 1080P while watching videos, comparing it to the P10 Plus results are probably gonna be similar since it has a bigger battery, Huaweis have superb battery life and efficient SOCs.
Though the P10 Plus has more ram and is water resistant, I agree it won't have much of a difference, but still...
JZ VR What I mean is wouldn't you expect the P10 to have better battery life with a full HD and smaller screen? It would make the P10 look really bad if it had worse battery life. And yet how can the G6 compete with the P10 with a 5.7" QHD screen. That's what I was trying to say.

I love Huawei and I do want to give it the win(as i've used the P1 which is still going strong) but that G6 sexiness is just luring me to it.....aaaaaah
It's a tough choice right!
yes, yes it is really tough.......maybe I should just be happy with my OP3😀😛
ace 1121 i like the OP3, but that phone is just speed and nothing else really :/
AWeakEconomy there's the beautiful design and sexy ass camera. Also I love it's headphone playback.
Hhm i guess, design is nothing speacial tho, but the new camera on the 3t is great.
What variant of the G6 was tested in this comparison? I was under the impression that the Quad DAC would only be in the South Korean model, unless your guys' unit had no DAC yet still produced good headphone output.
I've had the LG G3 and V10 and each one has become a laggy overheating mess after a few months. You can't slow down Kirin processors in Huawei.
Why not compare G6 camera with P10 Plus? I heard the Plus had better set up than the standard P10. Or is it true?
Hummm🤔 Whats more important Battery life or IP 68 Waterproof. Lets think...I ask myself how many times have I been without battery life? Answer: Several times. How many times have I dropped my phone in a pool of water? Never. Winner..Battery Life👏👏👏
Well explored :-D
MEN'S BASKETBALL LEAGUE Most people don't carry secondary batteries on them, so sealing the battery in, in order to provide waterproofing is a good trade off.
MEN'S BASKETBALL LEAGUE well the p10 plus has water resistant
Princy Unfortunately. Smart business move to eliminate a prime time feature no one took advantage of to cut cost. I still have a Note 4 so Im not heart broken. When my battery dies I pop a new one in.
Angel_Peguero I would but I've been spoiled by a S-Pen & Removable battery.
It's an awesome comparison! you are definitely the JUAN!
if I have money n have to buy one, G6 takes my money...Love the P10 though😀😀😀
Most important in comparison that needs asking: Which will be supported given the markets they may be used in? Does LG have a better setup with American markets, and is there enough support regarding Huawei outside of mainland China?
Those p10 photos were amazing😃👍
i would like to know more about the cameras i wish you showed the difference in not just still photos but photos with movement like taking a picture through a car window to test things like shutter speed.
still rocking huawei p9, not much of an upgrade from p9 to p10, i'll stick with it
I'm an iPhone user but if I had to choose between the two I would choose the P10. I really liked the depth of field in the photos using the dual cameras (they seemed far superior than those I take with my 7 plus which are processed by software) and battery life seems to be better. Those are features that seem more practical at least for me in my everyday life rather than waterproofing and wireless charging.
i love the G6... the G6 screen is awesome ❤️
At 2:21 the LG seems to have some kind of different pieces, like caps, but I don't see them on other photos, is that a pre-release thing?
If the P10 Plus has a Amoled I'd buy right now... I'm still waiting for my Nexus 6P upgrade☹️
Biignaeem hope mate 10 has amoled display
Look at the screen in person if you can, Huawei screens are top notch don't just swear by AMOLED.
JZ VR reason for amoled is not for quality but for power saving quality great on both
JZ VR but compared to the LG's near bezel-less display it doesn't stand a chance.
I thought AMOLED uses more power than regular LCD? Only when in dark backgrounds does AMOLED use less power.
Which one would you recommand if i want it for gaming and photography? Also good enough for school use.
Watching it on my G6
On the sound test why weren't the phones facing the same way? Seems like that could affect the test.
I just can't go back to anything that isn't an AMOLED after the S7 Edge. 😂😂
Juan, a curious question.
Have you checked to see if your P10 review unit has an oleophobic coating on its display?
Folks at Android Central doesn't seem to have it on theirs. Wanted to know if yours does.
I'd take the Huawei in a heartbeat. I'm not a heavy... err, I mean 'power' user and neither do games, fancy screens and cameras interest me. I just want the performance. I have no patience for stuttery, laggy performance.
I think MANY people in these comments would agree.
JuanBagnell agree with you but will the p10 support good pair of earphone such as the marshall modes ?
where'd you see an lg g6 lagging and stuttering?
Buzz Lightyear Did 9/11 lollol don t u know the lg bootload and lag problems
Cosmin Oprea stutters stopped before the v20, the g6 has none
what is the pen you used in the video? Can be used directly in captive screens?
First!
Pocketnow Cheater!
Pocketnow I would love it if you would review the lg stylo 3 when it comes out just for some diversity.
Pocketnow you can show yourself out
What is the song you used in video?
One of the best, on point, and most complete comparisons i´ve ever seen. Hands down.
An amazing well done job!!! keep rocking brother.
I trust your channel and Agreed agreed agreed.. I am a samsung guy who recently lost his S7 edge and still paying for it. I had to go for another flagship and S8 was my obvious choice. But since it almost required my entire saving plan of the coming year, I was looking for a proper replacement. And after a lot of research and convincing myself, I finally bought the G6.

Thanx to this CHANNEL that gave me confidence to even start researching about this.
LG rocks.big fan of LG products
What is the speaker that you were using for LG G6 on 5:58?
though I love Huawei but g6 definitely is the better overall phone,
What settings are you using to export 1080p60fps? I'm uploading to my channel and I can watch 1080p 60fps in the computer but on the phone only 480p or 720p60fps. Can you help me here JC. Thanks!
After the Galaxy S8 drops, people will be like HUAWEI, G6 What?
awesome review as always but video was out of focus in so many places. the center was good but the bottoms were very out of focus. again awesome video maybe I'm nitpicking
but the LG Is 100 dolars More compare it with the huawei p10 plus Thats a good one
Prices for the LG G6 haven't been released
agustin zambrano heredia the huawei just has 1080p screen soooo its obviously cheaper .... does the huawei has dolby vison ? I dont think so
What's the point if you are gonna end up with a phone with a flat bettery while the p10 is till up and going?
750$ for the G6, kinda expensive compared to the S8 which will be way better
agustin zambrano heredia Here in America Huawei has a very low brand value. I would pay $100 extra for LG over Huawei any day even if they had the same specs. Don't really wanna trust any Chinese brands till they bump up their brand value.
so that means no portrait modes ever on the g6? please let me know
G6 Wins if you want a phone that stops dead after a year. Production issues are what is haunting them after the marvelous G2.So my money is better spent on Huawei, Maybe P10 Plus.
Don't trust the Chinese phone. Though it has some advantages, build quality will always lag behind.
I had an lg g4, and it died on me, having p9lite, that works better than the g4 in every way. So in my opinion, Korea is not to be trusted...
Asus Zenfones too, they fucking sucks!
Ivan Milovanovic you've had a G6 for a year to make that claim?
Only talking about my previous experience with a previous model, I had the g2 - excellent, G3- a friend had the same experience as I had with the g4, so after owning 2 flagship models and having real and empyric information about a third one, I concluded. Also, having a p9 LITE with 2gb ram, that works better than a g4, for my usage, and having close experience with two Xiaomi redmi note 4, one o which I own and use daily, and a Xiaomi redmi 4 pro I have enough to state, that LG is failing to produce a quality price/performance product, as it once has(G2).

Quite a few fake S8 have already been released... Lol 😂
Naturally, I think you overuse the word naturally.
Is that a scratch on the G6's camera?! What type of glass is covering it?
Adam H what minute are you reffering to?
merkur cimen 14 seconds into the video. I looked at it again, I don't think it's a scratch after all
Adam H it should be saphire glass I think and no thats no scratch it's just reflection due to the shinynis
I would get Huawei P10
Which stylus do you use? I like its thin point/nib
I disagree. The P10 is way more Superior!!!
luka mihajlovic Nobody cares.
Master of Gaming who asked for your answer you dumbass ?
Master of Gaming if no body cares then why did you answer? Clearly you are bored and have nothing better to do. Go give out newspapers or something.
luka mihajlovic i did not say i don care. but i say wth r u answering for ?
The reason I'm answering like that is because I apsolutely hate people which don't give a reason why they don't like a phone and why they like some othet phone alot more. Let me give you an example: I don't like the iPhone, why? Well in my opinion the ammount of stuff you get on the iphone is not enough for the money. No headphone jack, no wireless charging, only 3gb of ram in the 7 plus... So couldn't he just type out why he likes the p10 alot more? Maby I want to buy one of these phones, so I'm reading comments to see peoples opinions on the pros and cons of these phones. Just saying you like the p10 more than the g6 does't help me, it doesn't help anyone tbh.
My beef with the G6's wideangle camera is that the lens distortion is noticeably non-uniform. The distortion gets abruptly more extreme at close to the frame edge yet can clearly be seen in most pictures posted so far.
It's better than the fish eye lens on the V20, but I know what you mean. We're really fighting physics at this point in delivering that field of view on a phone with a more consistently rectilinear lens would require a LOT more surface area. Balancing the compromises, I think LG has done an admirable job.
i go with the G6...
Well, I am thinking to replace my aging Honor-8 for the LG G6, Always a year behind in order to obtain best value, I've had my H8 for over a year, even tho it's an 016 phone, I love it and never really gave me any trouble. The P10 is somewhat similar to the H8 in features and performance, not to mention a great camera, Unfortunately P10s are still selling here for over $700- on the other hand last year's G6 is now avail for a price of a mid-ranger phone. I am not about to lose my NFC and USB-C for a low end phone, although the Huawei Mate SE is a tempting choice. I am rather attracted to the versatility and 18.9 screen of the LG. Would you stick to your H8 or upgrade to the G6?
The P10 is much prettier than LG's nostril thing.
Haha this is really funny
What stylus is that?
That g6 is thick
Or is it....
*thic*
Sic Semper Beats very true!
Why not the p10 plus? Similar size and closer in price..
LG phone the best!
Huawei P10 is really impressive and I'm gonna get it as soon as possible. The design is really outstanding.
If you don't have the p10 plus, this VS is useless, p10 is like s7, nobody likes it everybody buy the s7 edge so p10 plus is the real unit that you need to make this VS.
Juan, please answer this.. When you compare speakers(mono like this two), do you go into "settings/acessibilty/merge channels in mono" before playing it out?
Actually Huawei P10 has the IPX3 rating...
P10 Plus does. P10 is not officially rated that we can find.
JuanBagnell Huawei did mentioned it on Twitter account about both these phones Splash resistant!
Just checked, yes, Juan, you're indeed right. My bad...
Hi. Great Vid. What kind of pen was used in the video? Thanks :)
battery, Performance and Software literally the 3 most Important things on a phone and all 3 are better on the p10. so guess which phone is better....
real world application is just as important. theres legit no point in having a phone you cant pull out in the rain or cant see in glaring sunlight just a few examples otherwise i agree with you
Big Gay Phoque agree
yeah but keep in mind that the G6 is around $100 cheaper
Deucalion you can get the p10 for 350 pounds in uk I bought mine 2 months ago ..so your saying you can get the LG g6 for 250 pounds. ..don't think so ..get your facts right ..
I neeeeeddd help !! I have three phones and i have to choose what will i have . I've got huawei L21 , then HTC idk what and LG phone ......which is the best one i don't have enough time just tell meeeee
Loving my honor 8 and I'm going to get the p10 I love Huawei and I've owned all sorts of phones and Huawei just takes the cake
Excellent comparison, well done!
After the boot loop fiasco of the G4, V10, and GFlex2, I can't understand why people want to buy another LG phone.
and samsung note 7 fiasco
Shang-Hsien Yang lucky my g4 is still running strong without hiccup.. I must be lucky
However in my country they've discontinued to fix this problem for free. Honestly I can never recommend anyone a LG phone because of this attitude.
Still using G2 :P
Maybe i'm a sole proud owner of a G4. That phone is an outstanding performer. I broke the glass but it's still working fine and I am far from willing to change it.
This comparison was like really high quality food but it left me hungry for even more :D
Excellently done though, Juan!
Definitely G6.
Is there EIS when shooting with 4k resolution on the P10?
Personally I prefer P10's more classic look. The glossy finish of G6 attracts more dirt and finger prints. Plus P10 has green and blue! Inside, P10 is a beast that G6 can't compete. If you like playing games, P10 is the way to go.
I dunno, the P10 for me just looks dated, Huawei used to make phones with the best screen to body ratio, that's what brought me in, they have dropped the ball to Samsung oh and LG of all people, I am still looking in to Honor tho, the 8 Pro looks good.
Bushangels I think P10 looks out dated and I value brand name alot and Huawei fails todo that here in America.
Yeah, but I think the P10's excess use of labels and markings looks tacky and unprofessional. While it does look more similar to an iPhone, I would far rather deal with some finger prints on the beautiful, simple G6
can you do a head to head comparison with the LG G6 and Huawei p10 plus?
I love p10
Three years with my P10 Lite and I'm still happy!
5'1" screen size? Nooooo, need minimum 5'7"
Get the Mate 9 then.
buy a tv and put in the pocket
i use nexus 6, going great for me, even my hands are not that big but still I can use it with one hand. Once you guys start using big screen you cannot go back.
Nirav Makadia I'm using big screen and I will go back
Me to.
What kind of stylus is that thanks
I love lg.
Hey Juan, when is the P10 Plus review coming tho?
i still think LG phones are ugly..
how is HTC flagship record in upgrade delay to next OS compared to LG flagship record?
what about security updates?
Samsung and IPhone will be history in next 2 years.....Underdogs will rule...
love ur videos....short and precise
jagmoh gill agreed. Nowadays, there is so little difference between these flagships. Apple has stopped innovation years ago :(
OnePlus and Huawei will be the new smartphone overlords!
vgman94 Google pixel Nokia and blackberry...
Google, yes. Nokia and Blackberry? Lol.
which is better? p10 or p10 plus?
Huawei p10 good
04:44 whats the name of that character?, i loved the guitar riff on the show's intro.
LG g6 rox
erik daddo LEBNAYNEH!

Which one isn't going to bootloop after one month of use?
For LG's sake, hopefully neither...
G6 without a doubt is a better buy, phone.
anyone know where I can pick up a huawei mate 9 pro In uk?
Second!
Will someone please tell me the stylist they're using I want it.
hardly a good advert for the "bold new screen ratio" @ 5:52 with huge bars around the picture
P10 is a 2016 competition phone that copies the iphone design blatantly. The LG is 2017 design phone. You are also incorrect to say the 16nm kirin 960 won't face any competition until 2017. 2017 will have 10nm socs and the older current 14nm exynos 8890 scores the same. LG G6 easy win
rick starburst so you want to tell me that iPhone didn't copy Huawei with dual camera ?? and you want to tell me that iPhone didn't suck doing that by making the camera sticking out stupidly?? here we go Huawei shows you how its done correctly and what about the back finger print on the LG should I remind you started it before LG followed ??....and I'm sorry according to the leaked benchmark of the SD 835 the krin 960 scored higher and if not higher its equal to it so there's no compaction.
According to a wide range of benchmarks the 960 loses out in all graphics tests and are very similar in score in cpu tests. dual camera lol. Dual camera is still not a primetime feature and i would anyways have a wide angle lens like lgs. If you think the p10 isn't an iphone design clone with even the antenna design you are just a huawei fanboy. Also the iphone uses dual camera in a smarter way. Huawei did it as a selling gimmick and still is trivial with "deeper blacks"
rick starburst losing GPU score running games better and don't even say QHD vs FHD even the P10 plus runs smother ...and about dual camera not a primetime ?? lol then why your LG is rocking dual cam ?? what about your iPhone ?? and the finger print not primetime too ?? ....don't be a blind fanboy .
Yes I'm a lg fanboy because I don't have an LG phone. Just admit you are a huawei fanboy defending them with your life. Dual camera have been tried long before by htc and even LG optimus 3d. Just admit the p10 is a 2016 competition phone. The kirin 960 scores basically the same in cpu and gets destroyed in graphics because hauwei cheapened out on the amount of graphics cores. Fingerprint ? Lol did your beloved huawei create fingerprint readers? Half of your arguments don't even make sense or are even true.
rick starburst not even gonna waste my time with stupid low mind like you ...watching a review and he clearly said the kirin will not face compaction until the next SD 835 yet Mr smart trying to be smart and saying its scoring same how stupid you really are ?? in Antutu 3D P10 scored around 43000 while SD 821 score around 23xxx to 25xxx and scoring same in CPU ?? I think you need glasses because SD821 will never touch those geekbench scores .....you want to compare it to exynos 8890 ?? do you even know that the exynos 8890 use Mali 880?? and Kirin 960 use Mali G71 which is faster ?? and even with CPU score its not the same you really need to get your eyes chick again as you're clearly avoiding the facts.
Hi, I'm really curious about the stylus pen you used in the video. Could you please tell me the model of it?
lg G6>>>> s8
dope c S8 >>>>>>>>>>>> G6
the s8 will have way better specs so probaly not
You can't know for certain. The S8 might be utter crap, but it might be the best phone of 2017.
dope c you can keep telling yourself that until Samsung fully unveils their beast
processor for sure like the p10, OLED for sure but since it is only a fragile edge display that can be a con, iris scanner, not really needed but cool, faster focusing, but no wide angle, looks can go either way, possibly battery life, better marketing for sure.
Probably equal audio by akg/harman/jbl, who they just bought.
price should be close, lg should be cheaper because of 32GB, no quad dac, and no 64 base model, but we will have to wait to see how greedy they are as an underdog, which should not be greedy at all.
at this point I don't see any reason to run out and buy a new smartphone for these iterative at best follow ups and tip toeing for a profit approach. the G5 still probably has the better still output. Any improvements to video recording speeds?
huawei
Loved the audio comparison, first time I see this. Up-voted because of it.
as always, excellent comparison by juan .... thanks
Glad you enjoyed :-)
i always love your review because I almost got all the information I want specially on the audio side and I hope you can include also the bluetooth audio quality and the call quality on both loud speaker and earpiece .. most of the reviewer don't give much importance on this but for me, this is the most important ...
Hi,can you tell me Is it possible to make hands free calls using the earphones ? Thank you in advance,i can't seem to get it to work
How's the microphones on the g6 compare to the v20? Im thinking of getting the g6 for my v20
While the G6's speaker is good, it doesn't compare to many of the phones out there with dual speakers. While it was able to beat the P10, I don't think it's worth upgrading from the already very nice V20.
I am wondering why in speaker comparison you putted each phone speaker in different direction!!
as always a very good review JuanBagnell .
